I have just experienced the same problem with my RCA TV. I am looking for information that can guide me to the proper fuse on the board. I have taken the back of the unit off and there are multiple boards inside. Is it the one that the power cord is attached to? If so can I remove that board and take it with me. The place that I work does alot of soldering and board manufacturing, so I could take the board and they could re-solder another fuse on it for me. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

the rca itc222 chasis uses no stk the convergence is controled with transistors... the convergence amp board is located above the main signal board(green board)... it can be identified as the one with several heat sink fins on it. FL231 is related to convergence.. there has been a problem with this fuse when it blows the processor doesnt know it is a projection set so it turns it into a regular tube tv. Here at the shop we have found number one reason this fuse blows is poor solder connection on the flyback. So replace the fuse and reflow the solder connection on the flyback and around that area also the horizontal transistor and then see if that doesnt fix the problem.. if you have an more trouble ..... willie@fordtv.com

Instead of taking the board out, I just soldered two wires to the old fl231 fuse on the underside. Installed a fuse holder with a half amp fuse. And I re-soldered all of the flyback points. My tv is working like new. thanks for everyone's help.

Right to the right side of the flyback. You will see three small brown rectangle ( fuses) FL221, FL231 and FL251 the center fuse is the FL231 which is the fuse for convergence. I am posting a pic of where its located.

This DLP model RCA tv have convergence menu disappearing is very easy to fix just replaced the convergence fuse FL 231 near the FBT also must be resoldering FBT too.U can buy this FL231 covergence fuse at Ebay.com.No,but u must have to have a soldering iron,a desoring pump or desoldering braids and know how to basic soldering?To replaced this FL231 convergence fuse near the FBT and also must resodering the FBT too for protecting the new FL231 convergence fuse.

no the fl231 fuse is only for model itc222 rca's . these older set unfortunately do not have that fuse convergence is contolled by a sepreated cuircit board. also these set have no stk ics that are common for most set that control convergence. it uses a series off transistors.

fl231 is the convergence fuse, and is soldered to the board in proximity of the convergence ICS, on RCA rear projection TVs.

If fl231 has blown, TV usually does not turn on at al, if you get bowed picture, that means that the convergence ICs must be replaced.

The fuse is on the same board where you find convergence ICs, if the fuse had blown, or the pico fuses at the base of the STK convergence ics had blown, the STKs must be replaced.There is need of purchasing the service manual to do the job.

no the board that has the FL231 on is the ITC222 deflection board. The other board is above the chassis in a seperate frame that runs across the set the convergence power supply is the board on the left above the board where the fL231 is. Yes the ITC222 and ITC222A are the same chassis. As for the service manual that site should have the service manual under the thomson category as the ITC 222 chassis is actually a thomson chassis made for RCA.
